[duxuser] Importing WordPerfect tables how can I?

Hi,

I get various minutes and agenda with a cover page showing who was expected
and who was present. This is done in a WordPerfect 8 or 9 table. DBT doesn't
do a very nice job of formatting this for me.

The table has a cell which is checked if the person was present, then the
name of the person and then a description of who that person is.

DBT places an X in the first cell if the person is present but does not put
a space so it bangs into the first character of the person's name. The rows
are not separated by linefeeds so the next X is an extension of the line
unless coincidently it lands at the end of the braille line. If the person
was not present no space is inserted and of course the columns do not line
up. This I do not care about but reading such a list isn't very meaningful,
is slow and is very difficult to locate a specific name if that is
important.

Is there an easy way to help DBT figure out what to do with such a list in
table format to help improve readability? Remember this is a table inserted
into a WordPerfect document.

Thanks for any advice or assistance.

Thanks.
